Provide examples of various intangible assets. Why are research and development costs expensed as incurred rather than capitalized? Why are some intangible assets amortized and others are not?

"she hasn't exactly gone post-rock, but this album shares with Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock a subtle maverick spirit"



From The Dreaming (the first album she recorded in her private studio on HER schedule) and on subsequent albums she has been willing (if not enthusiastically eager) to tinker, to mess with the formula and do things that go against convention; usually the result is unexpected and inspired genius (Hounds of Love). Sometimes they don't work (in fact that happens once on every other album she's produced) but even her failiures are fascinating in their audacity (Stephen Fry making up nonsense words for 8 minutes is silly, but it's a brilliant sort of daftness and you have to admire her confidence and total lack of fear of failure when those moments happen).



Another risk she took was bringing in one of the few musicians whose talents could potentially upstage her - not Elton John but Steve Gadd, one of a very small number of drummer who could legitimately claim to be the best in the world (which is why I'm singling him out - even though had some notable guests on her albums (Prince, Clapton, Gilmour et al), she's never worked with someone of his skill and reputation. Fortunately Doctor Gadd has been a sideman and his restrained, gentle percussion provides the perfect accent to the music (Misty for example).



The few missteps she made don't drag the album down too much for me and it's a solid 4/5

The Dreaming was recorded at Abbey Road.

She's worked with so many veteran folk and jazz musicians though. Take a look at Eberhard Weber for example

You're correct about the studio (she built it for Hounds because of her experiences making The Dreaming) but I still disagree about Steve Gadd - he's not merely a talented drummer. Other drummers recognize him as one of a small group of musicians who have mastered the instrument, who are, simply put, the top drummers in the world.



I honestly cannot think of another musician that she's worked with who has that kind of reputatio -Eberhard Weber is a fantastic bassist but I don't see him in that conversation as long as Ron Carter and Stanley Clarke are still playing (not to mention Marcus Miller, Charlie Hayden, Dave Holland etc.)
